Up to 15 shortlisted entries will participate in a one day workshop to put you in the best place for the pitch.

Your idea is just the starting point. The goal of this workshop is to take your idea and the team through a journey to deeply understand the needs and wants of the people your idea is for, clearly articulate how your idea will create change and explore ways to name and test the greatest unknowns about your idea.

The Australian Centre for Social Innovation will facilitate the workshop drawing on experiences running more than twelve Social Innovation Challenges.

To be held at our offices in Adelaide's CBD, shortlisted applicants are required to attend this workshop on 19 April 2018.
